In an effort to get some "street cred", I enrolled in a certificate program at RISD. At first, I regretted not waiving the Drawing 1 class, but not now. Learning how to really SEE your subject is so important and the techniques had gotten a bit rusty. I read about Richard Schmid and a painting he did of salt/pepper shakers. He was so focused on understanding the shapes in these objects, he didn't realize he had painted a small self portrait in the reflections, until he finished.
